There's no need to outsource this American worker.

Chris Evans, the money-printing Marvel Cinematic Universe's Captain America, is Hollywood's "Best Actor For The Buck" for the second year in a row, according to Forbes.

Using its Celebrity 100 list, Forbes looked at each actor's past three movies before 2016, dividing the films' estimated total operating income from the actors' estimated income for a return on investment number. Animated films, limited-release movies and flicks in which the actors had a small role were excluded.

At the end of the calculations, Evans' movies returned an average $135.80 for every $1 he was paid. That was comfortably ahead of No. 2 Chris Pratt ($125.40), who's another Marvel star with "Guardians of the Galaxy" to his credit, to go with mega-hit "Jurassic World."
